Tamiya 35064 - Classic 1/35 Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank scale kit  [35064]

Leopard 1 MBT in 1/35 scale - a Cold War classic

The Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank captured here in 1/35 scale by Tamiya (model 35064) represents a key NATO main battle tank from the Cold War era. This kit recreates the vehicle that combined mobility and firepower to meet post-war defence needs.

Why the Leopard 1 mattered and what the model shows

Developed in the early 1960s, the Leopard 1 helped restore West German armored capability and fitted the British L7A1 105mm gun used across NATO. The real vehicle had a multi-fuel engine and could ford water obstacles up to 4 meters, traits that modelers will recognise in the kit's detailed components. Tamiya's 35064 captures the tank's lines and mechanical layout for an accurate build experience.

Modeling appeal and display value

This Tamiya kit delivers a rewarding assembly, with finely moulded parts that reflect the Leopard 1's engineering. Builders will find the kit suited to display on its own or as part of a Cold War diorama, offering both historical interest and modelling challenge.
